[William Clayton Writings] Saturday 3rd. This A.M. started for Quincey on the Steam Boat ``Maid of Iowa.'' I took my wife & her child Also Margaret Moon & Sarah Crooks. We had a large company of brethren and sisters on a pleasure voyage. We arrived at Quincey about 1 oclock. I immediately went to the Probate Judge & presented the papers which we had made out pertaining to the Lawrence Estate. He said he could do nothing with them. Upon enquiring what he wanted I finally made a new account which he accepted. I then went to the boat & Prest. J returned with me to make oath to the accounts. ballance in Guardians hands was $3790.89 ¾ We soon got through & started back about 5 oclock ... Sunday A.M ...
/[Sarah & Margaret were also Clayton's wives. The Lawrence estate had to do with the Lawrence sisters who were living at the Smith home after their father died, and whom Joseph Smith had subsequently married]
